THE FUTURE

They're only teenagers but you might as well size up Eziyoda Magbegor and Maddison Rocci for Opals uniforms.

There is no doubt Goriss has unearthed two "superstars of the future", but finishing second-last in the wake the second worst losing streak in club history means change is inevitable.

With promising 21-year-old Lauren Scherf the only player contracted for next season, Goriss is wasting no time in starting the process - it begins "now".

The Capitals mentor will have individual meetings with each player over the coming week as he looks to build a roster capable of taking Canberra back to the finals for the first time in seven seasons.

"We've sat down as a coaching group and evaluated where we're at, where we need to improve for next season and both from the individual perspective and team perspective, what we need to have to improve our record," Goriss said.

"Obviously part of it is budget-driven but part of it is also what kind of personnel, player or skill set we need to get back to the top four."

Hurst isn't sure if she will play for the Capitals again with the 34-year-old set to reassess her future after a stint in Poland.

Hurst is the only player to have played in all seven of Canberra's championships and there is a clear difference between what the club had then and what it has now - continuity.

"You need that, you need continuity from season to season. You see the teams that are up the top of the ladder, they've had people come back season after season or core groups," Hurst said.

"It's what we used to have in the Caps and it's what worked. If any club wants to keep building we need to bring back core people.

"We just started to get on a run and started to get completely comfortable with how each other play and I would love to see a core group come back next season."
